46 Printing From Your Computer
Copying Photos to Your Computer
If you’ve taken digital photos with your camera, you can copy them to your computer using
PhotoStarter and CardMonitor. These utility programs were automatically installed with your
printer driver, and they detect when you insert a memory card in your printer and
automatically copy the photos to your computer.
Note: If you’re using Windows XP or OS X, you don’t need these programs. You
can set up Windows and the Macintosh to automatically copy photos to your
computer when you insert a memory card. See your Windows or Macintosh Help
for more information.
1. Make sure your computer and printer are connected by a USB cable and turned on.
2. Insert the memory card into the appropriate slot, as shown:
If you’re using a CompactFlash or Microdrive card, insert it all the way. If you’re using a
Memory Stick or SmartMedia card, it won’t be possible to insert it fully; this is normal.
Avoid inserting more than one card at a time, or you may not be able to tell which card
the printer is taking the images from.
3. PhotoStarter opens and copies your pictures to the Photos folder on your desktop.
If this is the first time you’ve inserted a memory card, you see
this message instead. Follow the instructions in the next
section to respond to the message and configure the
PhotoStarter utility.
4. When done copying your photos, remove the card as
described on page 48.
Caution: If you access the card from your computer and delete files, the card
may not work correctly with your camera. Always delete pictures using your
camera.
